There are three different stages in a life-and-death self-defense scenario, but before we go into those a quick story will help.
This story is true to the best of my memory and does take place in a war zone. The story, the tactics and weaponry do not apply to a normal self-defense scenario, but the three stages are still there.
This was 2009 in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan, and it was late fall and extremely cold outside. We had a simple mission that day: Go into a local village, get some information from a local source and hopefully get out without a shot fired.

ReplyDeleteAll the prepping and training and tactics in the world ain't worth dick if a stray
bullet happens to hit a soft spot. Luck.....or as Mr. Spock would say "random
operating factors" ALWAYS has a vote in the outcome of virtually every kinetic
event.
Yup. :)
